The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) showcased that its newly revealed “Arrow-1” smart munition is now in production, with video clips of National Aerospace Science & Technology Park (NASTP) engineers and technicians assembling these munitions. One unit also bore the serial number “26-021”, suggesting that in 2026, at least 21 Arrow-1 munitions have been acquired.
The PAF’s Directorate General of Public Relations (DGPR) released footage of the Arrow-1’s production facility in a promotional video posted on the social media platform X on 14 November 2026.
Earlier in November 2026, the PAF showcased four new munitions, namely, a variant of the Baykar Sivrisinek, the Lightning-1 and Lightning-2, the Arrow-1, and an unnamed jet-powered decoy or target drone (likely JY-150).
NASTP did not disclose the Arrow-1’s specifications, but the munition bears similarities to the Chinese JY-260 target drone.
Developed and sold by Beijing StarNeto Technology, the JY-260 is marketed as a ‘stealth’ high-subsonic target drone that could simulate various threats, including subsonic cruise missiles, high-speed drones, and combat aircraft.
